TLDR
This work investigates the importance of a good workload based order acceptance method in over-demanded job shop environments, and presents sophisticated methods that consider technological restrictions, such as precedence relations, and release and due dates of orders.Abstract:
In practice, order acceptance and production planning are often functionally separated As a result, order acceptance decisions are made without considering the actual workload in the production system, or by only regarding the aggregate workload We investigate the importance of a good workload based order acceptance method in over-demanded job shop environments, and study approaches that integrate order acceptance and resource capacity loading We present sophisticated methods that consider technological restrictions, such as precedence relations, and release and due dates of orders We use a simulation model of a generic job shop to compare these methods with straightforward methods, which consider capacity restrictions at an aggregate level and ignore precedence relations We compare the performance of the approaches based on criteria such as capacity utilisation The simulation results show that the sophisticated approaches significantly outperform the straightforward approaches in case of tight due dates (little slack) In that case, improvements of up to 30% in utilisation rate can be achieved In case of much slack, a sophisticated order acceptance method is less importantread more

Order acceptance with weighted tardiness
TL;DR: Examination of order acceptance decisions when capacity is limited, customers receive a discount for late delivery, but early delivery is neither penalized nor rewarded, and a variety of fast and high-quality heuristics based on this approach.

Order acceptance using genetic algorithms
Walter O. Rom,Susan A. Slotnick +1 more
TL;DR: A genetic algorithm is used to solve the problem of which orders to choose to maximize profit, when there is limited capacity and an order delivered after its due date incurs a tardiness penalty.

Due date (DD) quotation and capacity planning inmake-to-order companies: results from an empirical analysis
TL;DR: In this article, a model that formalizes the decision process for setting DDs in the analyzed cases is proposed, suggesting different procedures depending on the type of enquiry submission (DD set by companies or customers) and customer order (fast or slow).

Selecting jobs for a heavily loaded shop with lateness penalties
TL;DR: This work presents a model that uses weighted lateness as a criterion for time-related penalties and develops an optimal algorithm and two heuristic procedures that demonstrate near-optimal performance in a fraction of the processing time of the optimal benchmark.

Order acceptance strategies in a production-to-order environment with setup times and due-dates
TL;DR: In this article, the acceptance decision is based on detailed information on a current production schedule for all formerly accepted orders, while detailed scheduling of accepted orders takes place at a lower level (possibly later in time).

Multi-period job selection: planning work loads to maximize profit
TL;DR: This work examines the profitability of job selection decisions over a number of periods when current orders exceed capacity with the objective of maximizing profit, and finds one heuristic that produces near-optimal results for small problems, is tractable for larger problems, and requires the same information as the dynamic program.

TL;DR: A modeling approach is proposed that offers a generic framework to formulate various types of resource loading and RCCP problems as ILP models and various algorithms that can solve problems of reasonable size to optimality are proposed.
